"The Anderson Tapes" Remake

"Rush Hour 3" producer Arthur Sarkissian has optioned Lawrence Sanders novel "The Anderson Tapes," previously made by Sidney Lumet into a 1971 film starring Sean Connery, with plans to hatch a new version.

Original "Anderson Tapes" film starred Connery as an ex-con in New York who doesn't know he's under surveillance as he tries to rip off a high-rise apartment building. Sarkissian said the new version will be set in Miami.

"Surveillance has changed and gotten more interesting, and the story is just as topical as it was then," Sarkissian said.
